(Fagaceae) trees infested with the coccid Kermes hermonensis Spodek & Ben-Dov (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Kermesidae) between 2013 and 2014, in Diyarbakır. As a result of the study, two parasitoids and two predators were obtained. These are: Cheiloneurus claviger Thomson, 1876; Metaphycus sp.

Introduction Over 30 species of insects from the family Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera) occur in Central Europe. The occurrence of sixteen of them was reported in Poland (D/^browski & Krzywicki , 1982; D/^browski, 1998). Most of these species are decidedly xerothermophilous, i.e. they inhabit dry, open and strongly insolated habitats. Among the species discussed in this paperZygaena (Zygaena) angelicae O chsenheimer, Z. (Agrumenia) carniolica (Scopoli) and Z (Zygaena) loti (Denis & Schiffermuller) have the greatest requirements in this respect, and they mainly live in dry, strongly insolated grasslands situated on lime and chalk subsoil. The remaining species occur in fresh and moist habitats, e. g. in forest meadows and peatbogs. Due to overgrowing of the habitats of these insects with shrubs and trees as a result of natural succession and re­ forestation, or other antropogenic activities (urbanization, land reclamation) their numbers decrease, and they become more and more rare and endangered. During many years of investigations concerning the family Zygaenidae their primary and secondary parasitoids belonging to several families of Hymenoptera were reared. The host species were as follows: Adscita (Adscita) statices (L.), Zygaena (Mesembrynus) brizae (Esper), Z (Mesembrynus) minos (Denis & Schiffermuller), Z.

The sensitivities of some of the traditional colorants to environmental and conservation treatment factors results in numerous preservation concerns. Characterization of colorants in these prints can help guide preservation policies, however, identifcation of colorants can be difcult and re-creation meth- odologies for reference samples have been elusive. This paper details reproducible colorant preparation methods and characterizes these samples using accessible non-invasive techniques, multimodal imaging and refectance spectros- copy. A majority of the colorants can be identifed using the two techniques as complementary methods.

  • Scale Insects /Hemiptera, Coccoidea/ As a Source of Natural Dye and Other Useful Substances
    VOL. 15 APHIDS AND OTHER HEMIPTEROUS INSECTS 151±167 Scale insects /Hemiptera, Coccoidea/ as a source of natural dye and other useful substances BOZÇ ENA èAGOWSKA,KATARZYNA GOLAN Department of Entomology, University of Life Sciences KroÂla LeszczynÂskiego 7, 20-069 Lublin, Poland [email protected] [email protected] Abstract For centuries some scale insect species have been used for the production of dye (Porphyrophora polonica, P. hameli, Kermes vermilio, Kerria lacca), wax (Ceroplastes ceriferus, C. irregularis, Ericerus pela), lac and shellac (K. lacca); these hemipterons are also the source of honeydew. Nowadays, some of them (Dactylopius coccus) deliver natural pigment which is used for yoghurt, sweets and soft drinks production. Polish cochineal is considered to be a historical and well-earned species for Poland. During Jagiellonian times it constituted one of the more important factors in national economy contributing to the country's prosperity and the society's well-being. Also today it could be used in many sectors of the eco- nomy, e.g. in food production. One of the factors which makes it more difficult to use species of the Porphyrophora genus in mass production of carmine dye is a too little content of dyeing substance in the bodies of these insects and a too large content of fat (about 30% of body mass) which inhibits the process of fabrics dyeing. An additional, though not less important problem is a remar- kable disappearance of P. polonica and P. hameli which is related with the damage of their natural habitats. The phenomenon of scale insect disappea- rance and the need for its protection was noticed back in the eighteenth cen- tury.

ZooKeys 246: 11–26. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.246.3766 Abstract The first-instar nymph and the adult female of Kermes echinatus Balachowsky (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Kermesidae) are described and illustrated. This species is compared with K. vermilio Planchon, a morpho- logically similar species known in the Palaeractic region. Keywords Scale insect, Quercus, evergreen oaks, Kermesidae, morphology, red dye Introduction The scale insect family Kermesidae (Hemiptera, Coccoidea) develops and feeds ex- clusively on Fagaceae trees (Ben-Dov et al. 2012). This scale insect family is com- posed of one hundred species distributed among ten genera and they are currently known from the Nearctic, Oriental and Palaearctic regions of the world.

  • Türkiye'de Meşelerde Görülen Coccoidea (Hemiptera)
    Türk. entomol. bült., 2013, 3 (1): 13-31 ISSN 2146-975X Orjinal Araştırma (Original article) Türkiye’de meşelerde görülen Coccoidea (Hemiptera) türleri1 Cocoidea Species (Hemiptera) on oaks in Turkey Selma ÜLGENTÜRK2∗ M. Bora KAYDAN3 Ferenc KOZAR4 Yair BEN-DOV5 Summary Coccoidea species (Hemiptera) on oak trees were collected from forest and urban areae in different part of Turkey. Some minor coccoid species and four new records of Turkish scale insect fauna (namely Asterodiaspis hadzibeyliae Borchsenius, A. repugnans (Russell) (Asterolecanidae), Eulecanium cerasorum (Cockerell) (Coccidae) and Puto israiliensis Ben-Dov) (Pseudococcidae) were represented with their host plant, distribution in Turkey and in the World. In addition coccoid species that were recorded previous were listed with information about host plant, distribution and references. The number of Coccoids on oaks reachs 40 with last new records. Key words: Coccoidea, fauna, Turkey, new record, oak. Özet Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerinde bulunan orman ve diğer alanlardaki meşelerden toplanan Coccoidea (Hemiptera) türleri sunulmuş, ülkemiz faunası için yeni kayıt niteliğinde olan Asterodiaspis hadzibeyliae Borchsenius, A. repugnans (Russell) (Asterolecanidae), Eulecanium cerasorum (Cockerell), (Coccidae) Puto israiliensis Ben-Dov (Pseudococcidae) ile birlikte, haklarında ayrıntılı bilgi bulunmayan bazı türlerin dünyada ve Türkiye’deki konukçuları, dağılışları, habitatları ve varsa biyolojileri hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir.

Entomologia e Zoologia, via Amendola 165A, 70126 Bari, Italy 3Università della Basilicata, Dipartimento di Biologia, Difesa e Biotecnologie Agro-forestali, Potenza, Italy (deceased) Summary The morphology of the 1st-instar, 2nd-instar male and female, 3rd-instar female and adult female of Kermes vermilio Plan- chon (Hemiptera Coccoidea Kermesidae) are described and illustrated; micrographs of some morphological details are also provided. An identification key to instars and a table showing the present status of knowledge on the morphology of European and Mediterranean Kermes instars is included. Key words: gall-like scales, morphology, instar descriptions, identification key Introduction The genus Kermes Boitard, 1828, includes 63 species, distributed throughout the northern hemisphere and strictly linked to Fagaceae of the genus Quercus, although some Asiatic Kermes have been collected off other fagaceous genera such as Castanea, Castanopsis, Pasania, Lithocarpus and two North American species off Chrysolepis (Miller et al., 2005; Ben-Dov et al., 2012). Twenty Kermes species have been recorded so far in Europe and the Mediterranean Region, all off deciduous and evergreen oaks (Table 1).
